The mark’s name is Nedry. Dennis Nedry. He ticked off the wrong people (don’t mess with mega-corporations) and got eaten by a dinosaur. But that’s not your problem. What we want to know is why the idiot shut down ALL the security systems. If he programmed the whole system, why didn’t he just set it up so he could shut down specific systems, instead of letting every dinosaur in the park loose? I’d make a joke about buggy code, but he got eaten, didn’t he? Joke practically wrote itself.

It’s an interesting question, right? I mean, he’s a programmer; they’re supposed to be methodical and take the most efficient route. Shutting down ALL the systems is just plain wasteful! I’m thinking there must be more to the story…

Nedry shut down most of the systems to steal the DNA, depowering a lot of the electric fences. The raptor cages were still powered on, though, until the team rebooted the computers to counteract Nedry’s mess. That shut off the remaining power, allowing the raptors to get out.
